Customer trust — the greatest strength of any bank — was once again reflected in Pubali Bank's 2025 performance. During the year, the bank's total deposits rose to Tk89,552 crore, representing a growth of more than 20 percent over the previous year. At the same time, the bank continued to support the country's business and industrial sectors, with advances increasing by 13 percent to Tk71,140 crore.
Pubali Bank also played a significant role in supporting the country's international trade. In 2025, the bank achieved 7 percent growth in import financing and over 21 percent growth in export financing, further strengthening Bangladesh's trade momentum. Alongside this, effective risk management and improved asset quality enabled the bank to maintain non-performing loans (NPL) at 2.14 percent, while the advance–deposit ratio (ADR) improved to 72.53 percent, reflecting balanced and responsible banking practices.
The achievement was commemorated at the bank's head office with a simple celebration.
